The Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulations Bill also known as the Social Media Bill passed second reading in the Senate on Wednesday, November 20 with the support of almost all the senators.
We reported that the senators supported the bill despite opposition to the proposed legislation by Nigerian citizens who are of the opinion that the bill seeks to fight free speech.
During the debate, only one lawmaker, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani opposed the bill. He argued that there is legislation in the country namely the Cyber Crimes Act which addresses internet falsehood.
